Why Paradise Valley?

Paradise Valley was a part of the historic Black Bottom, a predominately African American community in Detroit, MI from the 1920s through the 1950s. Paradise Valley was the business and entertainment center of the Black Bottom community. The youth program within Black Bottom Gun Club is named Paradise Valley Youth Safety.

Why a Scholarship?

Our motto is "Defend. Educate. Train". We don't limit education to the range.

The educational investment provides the tools to serve and be of service to family and community. Black Bottom Gun Club is anchored by community, and the PVYS Scholarship is one of the ways that we provide service and execute on and live out our values.
